ONE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP(tm) BOLSTERS ITS RANKS AGAIN WITH FIVE ELITE SIGNINGS

Mar 25, 2014

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Singapore: ONE Fighting Championship™, Asia’s
largest mixed martial arts organization with a 90% market share,
has bolstered its talent-rich roster with a series of signings of
champions from around the world. England’s Chi Lewis
Parry, China’s Ji Xian, Ukraine’s Igor Subora,
the Philippines’ Cary Bullos
and Indonesia’s Yohan
Mulia Legowo have all agreed to exclusive contracts with ONE
FC, and will be making their respective debuts at a later date.

Chi
Lewis Parry is the current Heavyweight champion in the United
Kingdom who has amassed an undefeated record of five wins and no
losses. Parry stands at a towering height of two meters and prior
to competing in mixed martial arts, was a professional basketball
player in the British Basketball League. He boasts the longest
reach in the ONE FC Heavyweight division and will look to use that
advantage to propel him to victory in the ONE FC cage.

China’s Ji Xian has demonstrated that he can defeat most of the
Bantamweight fighters in Asia, having earned a championship belt
while competing in the now-defunct Legend FC. All 11 of his wins
have come via submission, a testament to Ji Xian’s grappling
prowess. He now gets an opportunity to test himself against tougher
competition as he joins arguably the most talented division in ONE
FC. The Bantamweight division currently boasts names such as
Japanese MMA veteran Masakatsu
Ueda, Filipino striking prodigy Kevin
Belingon, Korean MMA star Soo Chul Kim and ONE FC Bantamweight
World Champion Bibiano
Fernandes.

Igor
Subora, who also joins ONE FC’s Heavyweight ranks, is the
former URCC Heavyweight Champion. The Ukrainian is trained in the
combat sport of Sambo and has been unstoppable since coming to
Asia. He is riding a five-fight winning streak and will be eager to
demonstrate his Sambo skills as he takes a step up in competition
and faces the best Heavyweights in the world.

Cary
Bullos is one of the top mixed martial artists in the
Philippines and the URCC Bantamweight Champion. He has been
involved in martial arts since he was eight, competing in Muay Thai
and Judo before turning his attention to the fastest growing sport
in the world. He began his professional mixed martial arts career
in 2006 and has won seven of his eight professional bouts with all
of his wins coming by finishes, proving what an exciting fighter he
can be.

Yohan
Mulia Legowo grew up in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, and
was exposed to all forms of martial arts from a young age. Since
nine, Legowo has been committed to learning all the various forms
of martial arts in the world and would take his time mastering each
one before gradually progressing to the next. He eventually began
to compete, earning accolades in Kickboxing, Sanda, and Submission
Grappling. Like many Indonesian mixed martial artists, Legowo also
had a sustained run in the now-defunct TPIFC from 2002 to 2004,
including a contest against Fransino
Tirta, another recent signing by ONE FC. His career stalled in
2007, when he suffered a broken arm. Although doctors told him his
career was over, he resiliently fought back, recuperating intensely
before finally being able to return to mixed martial arts action in
2010. Since then, he has been determined to make up for lost time
and has not looked back since.

ONE FC’s next event, titled ONE FC: RISE OF HEROES, will take place
at the 20,000-capacity Mall of Asia Arena on 2 May, and will
feature a ONE FC Bantamweight World Championship title bout between
reigning and defending world champion Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes
and Japanese contender and ONE FC Bantamweight Grand Prix winner
Masakatsu
Ueda.
